Brief summary

Changes in prostate volume before and after surgical treatment for BPH have been reported, but only few studies have assessed the correlation between the percent of resected tissue and the clinical outcome. To evaluate this colleration in men treated either with TURP or open prostatectomy.

Interventions

Surgical resection of prostate by one of the following surgical techniques (three different interventions) 1. TURP (transurethral resection of prostate, one hour duration) 2. Freyer's prostatectomy (open transvesical prostatectomy, one and a half hour duration) 3. Millin prostatectomy (open retropubic transcapsular resection of prostate, one and a half hour duration)
